Spokesman for Al Bunyan Al Marsous (Solid Structure) operation Mohammed al Ghasri said the Libyan forces controlled the hotels compound in Sirte city.

In a statement on Wednesday, Ghasri said it is a very strategic area as it is only 2 kilometers away from Ouagadougou Conference Halls Compound.

The Misurata-led forces are now working according to military tactics, the spokesman said, adding their decisive advance to Ibn Sinai hospital, block 2 and block 3 is very near.

He added four elements of the presidential forces were killed and 26 others were injured in clashes with Daesh in Sirte city on Tuesday.
